Christmas White

It was a dry December month
    There was no rain, there was no snow
And so his hopes were wearing thin
                For Christmas White to be on show

Yet still a chance there is, he thought
             As hope lives on, however small
And so he visioned Christmas joy
Through snowflakes short and snowflakes tall

Prepared he was, to set the scene
           Such merry making, pure delight
The boughs of jolly wreaths were hung
       His tree of green was trimmed with light

With gifts of gold set ‘neath the tree
     And Christmas bird set now to cook
It was December 24th
              Did he see snow, “let’s have a look”

With faithful wife and little ones
             He went to window just to see
The first of many snowflakes fall
               In Christmas dance of frosted glee

He never gave up hope, you know
        For he believed and thus it came
He wished that all around the world
             That folk would always do the same

It’s then he said, “I’ll need my coat”
           As Mrs. Claus prepared his hat
Then “Reindeered”  Santa made his way
                     To fly again and that was that!

Oh I love this Mike. Your ending brought a glimmer of tears. Christmas looking through a child’s eyes waiting for Santa warms the heart of every parent and grand, great grand and great great grand. Your special poem will be read to my 9 year old granddaughter who I know will love it too. Thank you for the heartwarming emotion you have drawn from me. A Fave for sure! Congratulations on your deserving POTD! Blessings xxoo

"Santa made his way to fly again, and that was that!" :) This is so cute. Even Santa waits for the snow. Send some my way, because here in Bama, it doesn't snow that much. May you have a White Christmas, Mike. Your thoughts bring a smile. Congratulations on Poem of the Day. :) Hugs, Brandy

I'm just like Santa in a number of ways, Mike: Big, fat, laugh a lot, and I never give up hope either -- that not one single snowflake will fall this and every winter in Chicago. Then again, I believed in the Chicago Cubs for 108 years too. lol. Congrats on POTD, gw
